Paul the Apostle, (born as Saul of Tarsus) and also often called Saint Paul (2BC–64/65), was a Messianic Jewish-Romanwriter and rabbi. He was a convert to Christianity. It is believed that he wrote thirteen books of the Bible, together called the Pauline epistles. They are letters to churches and Christians. He wrote these letters to encourage them, to help them understand Christian teaching, and to help them to live Christian lives.

Saul was on his way to Damascus to continue his reign of terror armed with letters from the high priests authorising the arrest of any followers of Christ.
"It happened that while he was travelling to Damascus and approaching the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone all round him. He fell to the ground and then he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? Get up an go into the city, and you will be told what you are to do."
(Acts 9:3-6)
Saul was converted as a result of this vision and changed his name to Paul. He went on to become one of the most powerful preachers of the faith. He was a well-educated man driven by passion and a love for Christ and His Church.
Today St Paul is celebrated in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of t
